Kate Breakey’s ‘Nests’ are a collection of austere images of elegant and intricate little objects, printed on silk and delicately hand-colored with pencil.  She has photographed nests for many years and on several continents, as part of a lifetime of fascination with the mysteries and wonders of the natural worlds. A bird makes hundreds of trips to collect the materials to build a nest, which it then weaves and glues together with spider-web, caterpillar silk and saliva. Each species does this instinctively because of ‘genetic’ or race memory--abilities and responses incorporated into its genetic code as the result of the common experience of its ancestors.

Brickworks Gallery will sponsor a "Brunch and Bloody Marys" Artist Talk with Kate Breakey on Sunday, October 14th, from 11:00am-1:00pm. Come meet this amazing, internationally renowned artist and photographer.
